We just got back from a week vacation and I needed to make a meal that was healthy. We weren't very healthy on vacation, but who could blame us?! I got my March food network magazine in the mail while we were gone and I found this weeknight meal in it. It had a "low-calories dinner" label on it. It was also very easy and used traditional ingredients. The recipe below makes 4 servings.
Ingredients:
1/2 pound potatoes, cut into 1/2-inch pieces (the recipe called for red but I used golden)
2 Tbsp olive oil
1 large bunch kale, stems removed, leaves torn (about 10 cups)
3 cloves garlic, thinly sliced
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 boneless skinless chicken breasts (about 1 1/2 pounds)
4 cups mixed salad greens
1/2 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
1/3 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1 Tbsp lemon juice
Directions:
1. Preheat the oven to 425F. Toss the potatoes with 1/2 Tbsp olive oil and spread in a single layer on a baking sheet. Roast for 5 minutes. Toss the kale in a large bowl with the garlic, 1/2 Tbsp olive oil, 1/4 tsp salt, and pepper to taste. Add to the baking sheet with the potatoes and toss. Roast until the kale is crisp and the potatoes are tender, stirring once, 15-20 minutes.
2. Meanwhile, preheat grill to medium-high (400-500F) and brush with olive oil. Slice the chicken breasts in half horizontally to make 4 cutlets. Pound out each cutlet to even thickness. Season with salt and pepper. Grill the chicken until well marked and cooked through, 2-4 minutes per side. Transfer to plate.
3. Toss the kale, potatoes, 1/2 Tbsp olive oil, salad greens, tomatoes, Parmesan, lemon juice and salt and pepper to taste in a large bowl. Divide the chicken among plates and serve with kale salad.
